Kube Select takes one bold Kubernetes hypothesis and tests it with an expert.
In the first episode, Salman Iqbal and Bart Farrell ask whether most organizations have an observability problem or a decision-making problem.
Henrik Rexed, Senior Staff Engineer at Dynatrace, challenges the original claim. Teams can collect metrics, logs, and traces, but that telemetry needs system relationships, ownership, and deployment history to support a confident decision.
In this episode:
Why telemetry without context slows incident response

How SLOs, ownership, and deployment events guide troubleshooting

When more metrics increase cost without improving decisions

How AI agents can investigate incidents without replacing human judgment

Kube Signals starts where the keynote ends: with the trends that platform teams will have to operationalize next.
In this special episode, Brian Teller speaks with Saiyam Pathak about his KubeCon India keynote and the shift from developer platforms to AI factories. They examine what GPU scarcity, shared accelerators, and AI workloads mean after the conference slides meet real infrastructure.
In this interview:
Why GPU infrastructure is becoming a platform-engineering concern

How DRA, HAMI, MIG, and MPS change GPU allocation and utilization

Where isolation, scheduling, and observability become harder for AI platforms

Which cloud-native AI trends and projects platform engineers need to watch

At enterprise scale, a deployment pipeline that runs Helm upgrades directly against Kubernetes hides drift, mixes configuration with CI logic, and makes the last pipeline run the source of truth.
Elad Cohen explains how WSC Sports moved from Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions and redesigned delivery around Git and Argo CD. The resulting platform separates builds from deployments, keeps service configuration in values files, and continuously reconciles clusters.
In this interview:
Why CI should change Git instead of the cluster

How ApplicationSets create main and shadow deployments from one values file

How AppProjects scope permissions and route alerts by team

Why reusable Helm contracts make customization compound across services

Karpenter can reduce Kubernetes infrastructure costs, but aggressive node consolidation can also expose workloads that lack disruption safeguards.
Ahmad Asmar explains how Zencity uses Kyverno to automatically generate Pod Disruption Budgets, while accounting for existing PDBs, percentage-based availability targets, single-replica workloads, and environment-specific policies.
In this interview:
How Karpenter consolidation changes the availability risks of cluster operations

Why Kyverno's generated policies can provide safer defaults than manual enforcement

How to handle duplicate PDBs, scaling workloads, and single-replica edge cases

How aggregated ClusterRoles keep custom permissions separate from Helm-managed resources

An unmaintained identity component can remain invisible until a routine Kubernetes upgrade turns it into an incident.
Fabián Sellés Rosa, Platform Engineer and Runtime Tech Lead at Adevinta, explains how his team moved from KIAM to EKS Pod Identities without discarding the security boundaries and application interface that their internal platform depended on.
In this interview:
Why KIAM became urgent to replace after years of stable operation

How Crossplane, a custom controller, and KRO with ACK compared against the team's criteria

Why managed EKS Capabilities reduced toil but introduced observability and rollout trade-offs

How Kyverno preserved namespace-level authorization for IAM roles
